Kamaru Usman has established himself as a dominant champion with his recent performances. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has defended his belt twice this year already. In both fights, he violently stopped his opponents and broke multiple records.
However, in his reign as a champion thus far, Usman faced the most adversity in his very first title defense against arch-rival Colby Covington. Although Covington pushed him all the way to the last round, Usman secured a finish in the dying seconds, thereby defending his belt in style. A lot of fans believe that it was without a doubt the toughest fight of Usman’s career. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ does not agree.

Recently, the welterweight champion went live on Instagram to answer questions from his fans. A fan asked the champion if Colby Covington was his toughest fight to date.
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ continued, “I did not care about winning, I did not care about what was going on…The reason Colby’s fight looked like that was cause I threw everything out of the window and I said I’m going to hurt this man. So I was perfectly content with standing there and trading punches until one of us fell down. And one of us died in there.”
